Dear Haney Students, Staff, Faculty and Friends,
As we move toward the opening of the new school year, there are some changes that you all need to be aware of. Our leadership team is meeting daily to develop a workable plan for reopening while ensuring the health and welfare of our staff and students, while also continuing to provide exceptional, continuous workforce education.
As our understanding of COVID-19 continues to evolve, our national, state, and local experts continually update their guidance. Therefore, these guidelines and strategies continue to evolve and change and we ask for your patience and support as we all learn to operate under less than normal and ideal circumstances.
We will be operating on a hybrid schedule allowing for only half of our students to be on campus at a time. The remaining instructional hours/activities will be completed via Canvas either from home or in a lab setting here on Haney’s campus. We are striving to provide a safe and sanitary area for those students that may not have adequate WIFI in their home area. It is also necessary to limit class size for the current enrollment period.
We encourage anyone – staff or student – that feels sick to remain at home. We will address this issue on an individual basis for both staff and students that cannot come to campus.
Only students and staff will be allowed on campus. When entering the buildings, temperature checks will be conducted.
Students and staff will wear masks when social distancing of 6 ft is not feasible. Haney will provide one two ply fabric mask for each student and staff member. Students and staff may be required to wear masks at other times as needed.
All students and staff will be encouraged to frequently wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available. Restrooms will be closely monitored to ensure hand washing supplies are available and hand sanitizer stations will be located throughout the school.
Breakfast and lunch will still be available on campus as a grab and go menu. Students are encouraged to eat outside or in common areas providing proper social distancing.
Our custodial staff will clean and disinfect high traffic areas multiple times each day. Students will clean their personal work space at the end of each class period.
We will make every effort to isolate student groups in their respective buildings and will monitor student movement around campus
Please know that we are working diligently to continue to provide quality educational experiences while the health, safety, and well-being of our students and staff is our highest priority. We look forward to seeing everyone soon. Take good care and be well.
